Subject: bug#22780: 25.1.50; wrong average width picked for bold face for 7x13 X11 font
Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 19:50:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1cnsT0-0000ii-Ph@gedanken.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAPt6kTOJ4VDkoAjm96hSQ_oSQXvXjR_2RnFcpJsBRg70vijuxQ@mail.gmail.com>

I have also found this problem since I use 7x13 as my default font.
The widening of the bold version of this font makes Emacs version 25
unusable by me.

Using Alex Khesin's test case:

$ emacs -Q --eval '(progn (set-face-font '\''default "7x13") (print (face-font "default")) (print (face-font "bold")))'

I find that these fonts all work correctly (the width is the same for
normal and bold versions):  6x9, 6x10, 6x12, 6x13, 7x14, 8x13, 8x16.

It is only the 7x13 font that does not scale correctly since it gives
different widths (80 compared to 70) for the bold compared to normal
font:

  -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
  -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1


Using 'git bisect' I traced down the change that caused it and
demonstrated that it can be fixed by this patch.

-------------------- src/xfaces.c patch --------------------

This reverts a patch that was made as part of bug #17973.  The change
in src/font.c that was also made in that bug report seems to not be
relevant.

This is clearly a regression from Emacs 24 but since this change was
made to fix another bug it might be quite difficult to find a change
that works for both.
